What is AutoCAD Mechanical 2006?

Purpose built for associative 2D mechanical drafting and design Standards based, fully native DWG Intelligent and collaborative engineering tools Integrated data management

AutoCAD Mechanical accelerates mechanical design projects with tools that automate common tasks, saving you countless hours

of design and re-work


Increase Drafting Productivity

Reduce Errors

Communicate and Manage Design Data

Reduce Complex or Repetitive Tasks

AutoCAD Mechanical 2006



Reduce Errors





2D Mechanical Structure

Work with associative features, parts and assemblies instead of lines, arcs and circles

Live associative BOM keeps data synchronized and up-to-date

Organized data is easy to reuse

Reduce detailing time & effort


Associative Hidden Lines

Perform 2D hidden-line calculations automatically Easily incorporate revisions and change requests

Automate repetitive tasks while improving accuracy


Mechanical Browser

Create, view, and access design data easily Eliminate dependency on blocks, layers

and groups Access right-click context menus

Create, delete and insert instances Associative views and part reference data Color, visibility, sorting, attributes…

Shorten the learning curve and speed up design time


Standards-Based Mechanical Content Over 700,000+ standard parts and features

Fasteners, bearings, hotels, steel shapes…

A machinery handbook at your fingertips

Screw calculations, recommended fits and sizes…

Avoid duplicating effort, access pre-completed drawings


Standards-Based Mechanical Content Machinery systems generators

Intelligent Shafts, Chain/Belt Drives, Cams, Springs… Engineering calculators

Moment of inertia & deflection calculations, 2D FEA…

Remove tedious task of drawing or consulting catalogs


Precision Drafting Tools

Power Snaps 5 custom task-based snap settings Extensive suite of options

Construction Lines Abundant options & color highlights

Centerlines Mechanically focused

Ease repetitive tasks with a comprehensive set of tools



Reduce Errors





Drafting Balloons and Bill of Materials

Automatically create intelligent balloons and BOM’s Easily customize the parts list

Ensure an accurate and complete BOM


Associative Hole Charts & Fit Lists

Hole chart editor reads the design for you

Auto creation & updating

Flexible sorting options

Fit list chart automatically pulls information from power dimensions

Only specify fit information once

Deliver accurate data to the shop floor


IGES Translator

Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) Industry standard format Import & export

Share data between dissimilar CAD systems

Improve the accuracy of translated data



Reduce Errors





Standards Driven Detailing and Documentation Pre-packaged international standards (ANSI, DIN, JIS, etc.) Easily customized for your company Full suite of title and revision blocks

Reduce errors with consistent communication


Associative Production Drawing and Detailing All part and assembly drawings update automatically Annotation & detail views are linked and up-to-date

Changes are instantly updated everywhere


Automatic Dimensioning

Create intelligent mechanical dimensions Baseline, ordinate, symmetric and shaft dimensions

Dimensions automatically arrange based on standards Add or remove a dimension – Dimensions adjust!!

Save time and adhere to standards with auto dimensioning


Intelligent Mechanical Symbols

Quickly create standards-based symbology GD&T Welding symbols Surface finishes

Automatically adjust to drawing scale Easily adhere to company design

standards

Leverage international standards for productivity and consistency


Autodesk Inventor Associativity

Visualize and document native Autodesk Inventor models

Changes to the 3D model are automatically updated in the 2D drawings

Create native AutoCAD Mechanical DWG files

Only Autodesk delivers cross platform 3D to 2D associativity



Reduce Errors





Bill of Materials

Easily export BOM data to share information Popular formats available (Excel, etc.)

Import BOM updates and instantly incorporate changes

Avoid costly mistakes related to miscommunication


Data Migration

Turn AutoCAD blocks into Mechanical Structure

Streamlined interface easier to customize

Written in simple and accessible VBA language

Re-use instead of Re-create


Autodesk Vault

Autodesk Vault provides easy-to-use work-in-progress data management integrated with the design applications you use today

Manage Work-in-Progress

Easy to Use and Administer

Organize & Reuse

Protect and Secure

Centralize design storage and improve design reuse


Collaboration and Viewing

Easily share designs with the extended manufacturing team

Publish 2D and 3D models to DWF

DWF publishing built-in

Auto-publishing with Autodesk Vault

Lightweight published data

Secures intellectual property

Autodesk DWF Viewer

Free download

Viewing and printing



Reduce Errors
